Front In the mate of California baa
helped the apple crop. Shipment to
that section have been made and the
quotatlona are 25 to 50 cents higher
than they were three weeks ago. It
Is figured that' (he apple will have
to take the place of the golden orange
on the market generally. Mood River
Ins gotten r'd of most of the or
dinary grades and now have only the
fancy and. extra fancy on ' band. Ap
ples have advanced about SO cents
. a box over ' the , early winter
price and the widespread damage to
the fruit of the : famous southern
coast state will have tbe effect of
raising the price to normal. Eastern
buyers have been attempting to e
cure large contracts of apples ' but
the sellers' are not In the mood to
. sell whole lot at once on account of
the shortage of oranges. Western
men are to the east looking over the
'market condition for themselves and
will likely market their own apples.
, It Is bound to give the apples of tbe
Grande Ronde valley a boost even
though they do not enjoy the repu
Katlon of the famous Hood 1 River
stock.' As soon as ibe supply of or
ages Is exhausted there will be a
general demand for apples and then
the valley will come into- ita own.
Some of the enterprising men of
the vaMey with large supplies of ap
ples on hand will ship south, perhaps
Into California and other states. This
will do much to advertise the pro
duct, besides realizing a ' normal
profit. Most of the . fruit Is in good
condition and the remaining months
of winter will help dispose of the
stock on hand. Those who hold most
of the year's output may yet reallxe
good profits.'
